lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù jìn qù 。
略一迟疑，林轩将神识沉入进去。
E-Book (Title: *Records of Cultivation Anecdotes*)
shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng què mǎn shì gǔ guài zhī sè 。
少顷之后，林轩抬起头，脸上却满是古怪之色。
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan let his spirit sense delve into the electronic book.
zhèn jīng ， máng rán ， yí huò ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de qíng xù bù yī ér zú ……
震惊，茫然，疑惑，各种各样的情绪不一而足……
A short while later, Lin Xuan raised his head, his face filled with an array of emotions—shock, confusion, and doubt.
“ shào yé ， zěn me le ？”， yuè ér hào qí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“少爷，怎么了？”，月儿好奇的声音传入耳朵。
"Master, what is it?" Moon's curious voice drifted into his ears.
“ zhè hǎo xiàng shì péng lái shān de dì tú 。”
“这好像是蓬莱山的地图。”
"This seems to be a map of Penglai Mountain."
lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān jiāng yù tǒng jiǎn dì guò qù le 。
林轩一边说，一边将玉筒简递过去了。
Lin Xuan said as he passed the jade cylinder over.
yuè ér yī dāi ， yě jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn ， dùn shí yī zuò wēi é de jù shān chū xiàn yú yǎn lián 。
月儿一呆，也将神识沉入里面，顿时一座巍峨的巨山出现于眼帘。
Moon was taken aback and also let her spirit sense delve inside. Immediately, an imposing mountain appeared before her eyes.
suī shuō bù shàng wéi miào wéi xiào ， dàn yě cū jù guī mó 。
虽说不上惟妙惟肖，但也粗具规模。
Though not lifelike, it had a rough outline.
yóu qí yǐn rén zhǔ mù de shì ， zài zhè shān shàng ， biāo jì hěn duō 。
尤其引人瞩目的是，在这山上，标记很多。
What caught everyone's attention were the many markings on this mountain.
“ yí ” zhè hǎo xiàng shì wǒ men xiàn zài suǒ zhàn lì zhī chù 。”
“咦”这好像是我们现在所站立之处。”
"Ah, this seems to be where we are standing now."
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， tā yě jiāng nǎo dài còu guò qù le ， chóng xīn jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
“嗯。”林轩点点头，他也将脑袋凑过去了，重新将神识沉入。
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded, his head also leaning in as he retracted his spirit sense. Although only the general outline could be seen, it did resemble the nearby terrain quite closely.
suī rán zhǐ néng kàn jiàn dà gài lún kuò ， dàn yǔ zhè fù jìn de dì xíng què shí pǒ yǒu xiāng xiàng zhī chù 。
虽然只能看见大概轮廓，但与这附近的地形确实颇有相像之处。
But what Lin Xuan was more concerned about were other markings.
dàn lín xuān zài yì de zì rán bú shì zhè ge ， ér shì qí tā de biāo jì 。
但林轩在意的自然不是这个，而是其他的标记。
Though rudimentary, this map gave him a rough idea of Penglai Mountain's layout.
suī rán jiǎn lòu yǐ jí ， dàn yǒu cǐ dì tú ， què jiāng péng lái shān dà tǐ de shān shì ， zài xīn zhōng yǒu le yí gè lún kuò 。
虽然简陋以极，但有此地图，却将蓬莱山大体的山势，在心中有了一个轮廓。
"Master, look! There is a pavilion here, and a tower there. What does that moon-shaped mark represent?"
“ shào yé ， nǐ kàn ， zhè yǒu yī piàn diàn yǔ ， zhè lǐ hái yǒu yī zuò bǎo tǎ ， hái yǒu zhè yuè liàng xíng zhuàng de biāo jì ， dài biǎo de shén me ？”
“少爷，你看，这有一片殿宇，这里还有一座宝塔，还有这月亮形状的标记，代表的什么？”
Moon asked with excitement in her voice, though she didn't know the exact meaning. These marked areas were likely to contain treasures. The map had hundreds of such markings.
yuè ér suī rán shì xún wèn de yǔ qì ， dàn lǐ miàn què bǎo hán xīng è fèn zhī yì ， suī rán bù zhī dào jù tǐ shě yì ， dàn bú yòng shuō ， zhè xiē biāo jì de dì fāng dōu kě néng yǒu bǎo wù 。
月儿虽然是询问的语气，但里面却饱含兴垩奋之意，虽然不知道具体舍义，但不用说，这些标记的地方都可能有宝物。
Of course, given the vast area of Penglai Mountain, the distance between these treasure spots was considerable.
ér zhěng gè péng lái shān ， lèi sì de biāo jì zú yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō 。
而整个蓬莱山，类似的标记足有数百之多。
Lin Xuan sighed as he looked at the item.
dāng rán ， xiāng duì yú cǐ shān de miàn jī ， liǎng gè cáng bǎo zhī dì jiān de jù lí ， qí shí shì fēi cháng yuǎn dì 。
当然，相对于此山的面积，两个藏宝之地间的距离，其实是非常远地。
"Master, obtaining this object is a sign of divine assistance; why are you not happier?" Moon tilted her head, puzzled by his reaction.
lín xuān kàn zhe cǐ wù ， què tàn le kǒu qì 。
林轩看着此物，却叹了口气。
"Foolish girl, it's too early to be happy. The Netherworld Gate is fraught with danger. That ancient cultivator’s den we just passed was clearly a trap..." Lin Xuan paused, showing signs of lingering fear. Had he not had that strange treasure, he might have been trapped.
“ shào yé ， dé dào cǐ wù ” kě yǐ shuō shì shàng tiān xiāng zhù ， wǒ men cǐ háng huì fāng biàn xǔ duō ， wèi shén me nǐ hái bù gāo xìng ne ？”， yuè ér piān zhe zhēn shǒu ， yǒu diǎn bù jiě de kāi kǒu 。
“少爷，得到此物”可以说是上天相助，我们此行会方便许多，为什么你还不高兴呢？”，月儿偏着臻首，有点不解的开口。
"If this map is real, it will be very useful. But if it's fake..."
“ shǎ yā tou ， mí gāo xìng dé tài zǎo le ， xiū luó zhī mén wēi jī biàn bù ， gāng gāng nà gǔ xiū dòng fǔ bù jiù shì xiàn jǐng me ……” shuō dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān dùn le yī dùn ， yǐn yǐn xiàn chū xīn yǒu yú jì zhī sè ， ruò bú shì shēn huái qí bǎo ， zì jǐ dōu chà diǎn chū bù lái le 。
“傻丫头，弥高兴得太早了，修罗之门危机遍布，刚刚那古修洞府不就是陷阱么……”说到这里，林轩顿了一顿，隐隐现出心有余悸之色，若不是身怀奇宝，自己都差点出不来了。
Lin Xuan's expression turned grim as Moon's face also darkened with worry. His concerns were justified; following these markings to find treasures would be tantamount to suicide if they led to traps.
“ zhè ge dì tú rú guǒ shì zhēn de ， zì rán dà yǒu yòng chǔ ， dàn rú guǒ shì jiǎ de ……”
“这个地图如果是真的，自然大有用处，但如果是假的……”
"Master, what do we do?"
lín xuān dào cǐ chù ， yuè ér de xiǎo liǎn ， dùn shí yě yīn mái xià lái le ， lín xuān de dān xīn ” bìng fēi méi yǒu dào lǐ ， rú guǒ shì jiǎ dì tú ， àn zhe biāo jì qù xún bǎo nà kě jiù yǔ zhǎo sǐ wú yí le 。
林轩到此处，月儿的小脸，顿时也阴霾下来了，林轩的担心”并非没有道理，如果是假地图，按着标记去寻宝那可就与找死无疑了。
Moon felt torn. To discard the map was a pity, but using it could lead them into danger if it turned out to be fake.
“ shào yé ， nà zěn me pín ”，
“少爷，那怎么嫔”，
Lin Xuan's expression fluctuated, but he quickly made up his mind. One must enter the tiger’s den to catch its cubs; he had to test this item's authenticity.
yuè ér gǎn jué zuǒ yòu wéi nán ， qì zhī bù yòng ba ， kě xī ， kě àn tú suǒ qí ， wàn yī shì jiǎ de ， qǐ bù shì huì diē rù xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
月儿感觉左右为难，弃之不用吧，可惜，可按图索旗，万一是假的，岂不是会跌入陷阱里。
Thus, Lin Xuan delved his spirit sense again and located the nearest marking.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yě yīn qíng bù dìng 。
林轩的表情也阴晴不定。
He planned to visit there first to see if any treasures were hidden before determining the map's accuracy.
dàn tā dào dǐ bú shì pó pó mā mā de rén wù ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng jué xīn xià dìng le 。
但他到底不是婆婆妈妈的人物，很快就将决心下定了。
Although dangerous, it was the only plan he could think of.
bù rù hǔ xué ， yān dé hǔ zi ， zhè dōng xī shì zhēn shì jiǎ zǒng yào shì yī shì 。
不入虎穴，焉得虎子，这东西是真是假总要试一试。
Moon agreed without hesitation. She always supported her master’s decisions. Lin Xuan flew forward with a faint green light enveloping him, moving slowly and carefully.
yú shì lín xuān zài cì chén rù shén shí ， zhǎo zi jù lí zhè lǐ zuì jìn de yī kuài biāo jì 。
于是林轩再次沉入神识，找子距离这里最近的一块标记。
The speed of his flight was not fast; who knew what dangers lurked in this strange place? If he stumbled into any forbidden zones, it would be suicide.
zhǔn bèi qù nà lǐ xún fǎng yī xià ， kàn yǒu méi yǒu bǎo wù 。
准备去那里寻访一下，看有没有宝物。
Lin Xuan moved cautiously, fully opening his spirit sense. At this pace, even if the marked location wasn't far, it would still take about an hour to reach.
suí hòu jiù kě yǐ biàn bié cǐ tú de zhēn wěi le 。
随后就可以辨别此图的真伪了。
But Lin Xuan was not in a hurry; safety came first. His goal was not treasures but to use the ancient array to sneak into the Spirit Realm.
zhè me zuò suī rán wēi xiǎn le xiē ， dàn chú cǐ yǐ wài ， lín xuān yě shí zài xiǎng bù chū shén me hǎo zhǔ yì 。
这么做虽然危险了些，但除此以外，林轩也实在想不出什么好主意。
He wasn’t entirely sure of the details and needed to reunite with his sister. He hoped Fairy Yuyan had been sent to a nearby location, as they entered the same teleportation point.
yuè ér zì wú yì yì ， duì shào yé de jué dìng tā xiàng lái shì zàn chéng dì ， xiǎo yā tou huí dào le tiān jī fǔ ， lín xuān zé hún shēn qīng máng shǎn shuò ， huǎn huǎn de xiàng qián fēi qù le 。
月儿自无异议，对少爷的决定她向来是赞成地，小丫头回到了天机府，林轩则浑身青芒闪烁，缓缓的向前飞去了。
The only concern was encountering the Ten Thousand Jaws King; that old monster was not trustworthy, especially at the late Separation stage—once engaged, there would be no chance of escape.
dùn guāng de sù dù bìng bù kuài ， tiān zhī dào zhè guǐ yì de dì fāng yǒu shén me wēi xiǎn ， rú guǒ yī tóu zhuàng rù shén me jìn zhì ， qǐ bù shì zhǎo sǐ ？
遁光的速度并不快，天知道这诡异的地方有什么危险，如果一头撞入什么禁制，岂不是找死？
These thoughts made Lin Xuan more vigilant. He did not want to meet the Ten Thousand Jaws King.
lín xuān bù jǐn fēi dé hěn màn ， ér qiě shén shí quán kāi 。
林轩不仅飞得很慢，而且神识全开。
Lin Xuan didn’t know that several miles away, the Ten Thousand Jaws King wore a sneer on his face. His thoughts were similar to Lin Xuan’s; they had entered the same teleportation point and should be nearby.
zhào zhè ge sù dù ， jí shǐ nà biāo jì zhī chù jù lí zhè lǐ bìng bù yuǎn ， yě xū yào yuē yí gè shí chén de gōng fu 。
照这个速度，即使那标记之处距离这里并不远，也需要约一个时辰的功夫。
Assuming everything went as planned, he would face them one by one. Meeting that young man meant draining his soul and essence. As for the two women, they could serve as furnaces. The Ten Thousand Jaws King's face was filled with cruelty. After flying for hours, he found nothing but an ancient cultivator’s den.
dàn lín xuān bù jí ， ān quán cái shì dì yī ， hé kuàng tā cǐ xíng de mù dì bìng fēi bǎo wù ， ér shì xiǎng yào yòng nà shàng gǔ liú xià de zhèn fǎ ， tōu dù dào líng jiè qù 。
但林轩不急，安全才是第一，何况他此行的目的并非宝物，而是想要用那上古留下的阵法，偷渡到灵界去。
"Hmph, another of these."
jù tǐ qíng xíng ， lín xuān yě bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， zhè jiù xū yào xiān yǔ jiě jiě huì hé ， kě tiān zhī dào rú yān xiān zi bèi chuán sòng dào le hé chù ， bù guò liǎng rén jì rán zǒu jìn rù de tóng yī gè chuán sòng diǎn ， xiǎng lái xiāng jù bú huì tài yuǎn 。
具体情形，林轩也不是很清楚，这就需要先与姐姐汇合，可天知道如嫣仙子被传送到了何处，不过两人既然走进入的同一个传送点，想来相距不会太远。
The Ten Thousand Jaws King showed a disdainful look in his eyes. Compared to human cultivators, the lifespan of the demon race was extremely long. He had participated in the Netherworld Gate's opening nine thousand years ago and had fallen for such fake caves before.
wéi yī dān xīn de shì tā yǔ wàn jiāo wáng pèng zài yì qǐ ， nà lǎo guài wù kě bù huái hǎo yì ， piān piān yòu shì lí hé hòu qī ， nà yǐ jīng bú shì dǎ bù dǎ dé guò de wèn tí ， yí dàn duì shàng lián táo pǎo jī huì dōu bú huì yǒu dì 。
唯一担心的是她与万蛟王碰在一起，那老怪物可不怀好意，偏偏又是离合后期，那已经不是打不打得过的问题，一旦对上连逃跑机会都不会有地。
He learned from his mistakes; this time, he would not be fooled again. The only thing that surprised him was that the Netherworld Gate opened at what seemed to be Penglai Immortal Mountain.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān yě yuè fā jǐng tì ， tā tóng yàng bù xiǎng yǔ wàn jiāo wáng xiàng yù 。
想到这里，林轩也越发警惕，他同样不想与万蛟王相遇。
How could that be?
lín xuān bù zhī dào de shì ， zài jù lí tā shù wàn lǐ zhī wài ， wàn jiāo wáng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì lěng xiào zhī sè ， tā de xiǎng fǎ dǎo shì yǔ lín xuān chà bu duō ， tóng yī gè chuán sòng diǎn ， bǐ cǐ xiāng jù de jù lí yīng gāi bù yuǎn 。
林轩不知道的是，在距离他数万里之外，万蛟王的脸上满是冷笑之色，他的想法倒是与林轩差不多，同一个传送点，彼此相距的距离应该不远。
They were teleported to some vast deserts and wastelands last time. Although the chosen location varied each time, entering a legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain was too incredible.
ér qiě bù chū yì wài ， lín xuān sān rén yīng gāi yě dōu fēn kāi ， huàn jù huà shuō ， tā men dōu bú shì zì jǐ de duì shǒu ， zhèng shì gè gè jī pò de hǎo shí hòu 。
而且不出意外，林轩三人应该也都分开，换句话说，他们都不是自己的对手，正是各个击破的好时候。
However, his excitement didn't last long as he soon became eager again.
yù jiàn nà xiǎo zi ， jiù chōu hún liàn pò ， zhì yú liǎng nǚ ， dāng rán shì dàng zuò dǐng lú ， wàn jiāo wáng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì cán rěn zhī sè ” kě fēi le bàn tiān ， què yī wú suǒ huò ， dǎo shì yí gè gǔ xiū dòng fǔ chū xiàn zài yǎn pīn le 。
遇见那小子，就抽魂炼魄，至于两女，当然是当作鼎炉，万蛟王的脸上满是残忍之色”可飞了半天，却一无所获，倒是一个古修洞府出现在眼拼了。
Penglai Mountain was a legendary holy land; treasures here would far surpass those from previous openings.
“ hēng ， yòu shì zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。”
“哼，又是这种东西。”
The Ten Thousand Jaws King extended his tongue with greed. Despite the powerful cultivators who entered this place, he was at the late Separation stage—far above ordinary experts. As long as he was cautious, there would be no danger to his life.
wàn jiāo wáng de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī bù xiè zhī yì ， yǔ rén lèi xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， yāo zú de shòu yuán màn cháng yǐ jí ， xiū luó zhī mén shàng cì kāi qǐ ， tā yǐ jīng cān jiā guò yī cì 。
万蛟王的眼中闪过一丝不屑之意，与人类修士相比，妖族的寿元漫长以极，修罗之门上次开启，他已经参加过一次。
The Ten Thousand Jaws King ignored the cave and transformed into a streak of light, passing by it.
nà shí hòu měng měng dǒng dǒng de ” jiù chī guò zhè zhǒng jiǎ dòng fǔ de kǔ tóu 。
那时候懵懵懂懂的”就吃过这种假洞府的苦头。
His caution came from past experiences; ordinary cultivators lacked such wisdom.
chī yī qiàn ， zhǎng yī zhì ， zhè huí jìn rán bù kě néng zài shàng dàng le 。
吃一堑，长一智，这回晋然不可能再上当了。
Somewhere tens of thousands of miles away,
wéi yī ràng tā jīng yà de shì ， zhè cì xiū luó zhī mén kāi qǐ de dì diǎn ， jìng rán xiàng shì chuán shuō zhōng de péng lái xiān shān 。
唯一让他惊讶的是，这次修罗之门开启的地点，竟然像是传说中的蓬莱仙山。
Tremendous fluctuations in primordial energy occurred. The sky seemed like a chaotic dance of demons before a loud explosion.
zhè zěn me kě néng ？
这怎么可能？
A thin-faced Daoist elder emerged from the dust cloud. If Fairy Yuyan were here, she would recognize him as the old monster, Yin Yin Zhenren from the Heaven's Ingenious Sect.
yào zhī dào shàng cì tā men bèi chuán sòng guò qù de dì fāng ， bù guò shì yī xiē dà mò huāng yuán 。
要知道上次他们被传送过去的地方，不过是一些大漠荒原。
The Netherworld Gate opened once every nine thousand years—dangerous but also full of opportunities for advancement to the Separation stage. Who could resist such temptation?
suī shuō měi cì xiū luó zhī mén kāi qǐ hòu ， xuǎn dìng de dì diǎn dōu bù tóng ， dàn jìn rù chuán shuō zhōng de péng lái xiān shān ， hái shì tài bù kě sī yì le diǎn 。
虽说每次修罗之门开启后，选定的地点都不同，但进入传说中的蓬莱仙山，还是太不可思议了点。
However, thinking back on his recent experience, Yin Yin Zhenren was filled with fear. The traps in that cave were far more powerful than he had imagined, and two late-stage元婴 puppet masters were destroyed. He felt heartache at this thought.

E-Book (Title: *Records of Cultivation Anecdotes*)
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Xuan let his spirit sense delve into the electronic book.
